Chapter 1 The Open Beta of Frozen Age is now open
“Axing, eldest brother is dead!”
“It is said that he was beaten to death by several workers at the construction site because he was in arrears with the project payment!”
Xiangjiang, inside an office building.
Cao Xing heard someone calling his name and glanced at the other person lightly. He was a young man wearing a suit and slicked back hair.
Then, Cao Xing lowered his head again.
He is playing a survival adventure game on his tablet called “Frozen Age”. The painting style is more realistic and it is considered a relatively hard-core survival game.
Players will appear next to a bonfire at the beginning. Due to the extreme low temperature weather in this world, it is safe to move only within the coverage of the fire.
If you leave the fire range for a long time, the game character will freeze to death.
Players need to build shelters and unlock various basic buildings.
These buildings can also be upgraded by collecting various materials. For example, bonfires can be upgraded to large bonfires, furnaces, and even energy towers in the later stages.
In addition, players can also unlock different schools by developing troops or developing technology in the territory…
According to official reports, a team mode will be launched later.
However, because the game is still in the closed beta stage, Cao Xing didn’t see anyone around him playing the game, and he couldn’t even find it online.
At this moment, a prompt appeared on the tablet screen.
[This game will open public beta in two hours and will enter maintenance status soon. 】
[More content is being released, please look forward to it…]
Is the public beta finally going to start? Cao Xing’s heart moved. At this time, the young man with a slicked back hair naturally sat next to him.
Wu Jiahui put his arm around Cao Xing’s shoulders and said, “Axing, you have followed your eldest brother for a while, and he is still your boss.”
“Aren’t you sad that he died?”
Cao Xing put down his tablet, glanced at him and said, “Come on, after he established the Yongsheng Group to clear his name, he cut ties with us.”
“After working together for so many years, I just act as his exclusive driver. I don’t really have any feelings for him.”
“Besides, he had a dark heart, so it was only natural for him to be beaten to death.”
“That’s right.” Wu Jiahui nodded.
At this time, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, “It’s a pity that the eldest brother has been chasing Liu Muxue for so many years. He finally caught up with her and was ready to get married, and this happened.”
“Speaking of which, Liu Muxue is really a rare beauty!”
“That figure, and those long legs, tsk tsk, it’s really confusing to anyone who looks at it.”
“It’s a pity that big brother can’t enjoy it…”
Cao Xing did not answer the question because his phone vibrated.
After seeing the message, Cao Xing sat up from the sofa, turned around and prepared to leave.
“Axing, where are you going?”
Cao Xing spread his hands, “I’m the driver, where can I go? Of course I’m going to pick up people.”
……
Cao Xing came to the underground garage of Yongsheng Group and skillfully found a dark brown Maybach among a bunch of luxury cars.
After opening the door, the interior is extremely luxurious.
The value of this car, including the interior, is at least more than seven million.
Of course, this car is definitely not his.
Cao Xing is alone and helpless. In a city like Xiangjiang, just living is very difficult.
Not to mention having the money to buy such a luxury car.
Half an hour later, the Maybach stopped in front of a five-star hotel in the city.
Cao Xing took out his cell phone and sent a message.
“Sister-in-law, I’m already downstairs.”
A message came back from the other side.
“Um.”
A few minutes later, a tall woman in a black dress walked out of the hotel door.
Her manners were dignified, her tight-fitting dress outlined the perfect curves of her body, and her slender legs looked like a pair of exquisite jade objects as they moved.
This woman is Liu Muxue.
Cao Xing didn’t get out of the car, so the woman naturally got into the back seat of the Maybach.
“Axing, go to the funeral parlor.”
Cao Xing nodded and the car started.
Halfway through, Liu Muxue answered the phone and frowned slightly, as if something was bothering her.
“I said that when I agreed to marry Yongsheng Group, it was also what you asked for. Now that Chen Jiang is dead, I have nothing to do with him.”
“Don’t think of using me as a bargaining chip for profit anymore!”
She seemed angry, but because she was well-educated, she calmed down quickly.
“Axing, I’m sorry.” Liu Muxue said softly.
Cao Xing shook his head.
He knew Liu Muxue’s character. She was not the kind of person who would scold the people below just because of her status.
On the contrary, she has always had a good attitude towards her subordinates, and she is also well regarded by the outside world.
Since Liu Muxue quickly became popular, the media has also made detailed reports on her family and personal experience.
Her family of origin was not wealthy.
But because of his outstanding appearance and figure, he quickly became popular as an adult.
Naturally, it has attracted a lot of attention from people with ulterior motives.
Chen Jiang, chairman of Yongsheng Group, Cao Xing’s eldest brother, is also one of them.
…
…
Soon, the car arrived at the funeral home.
Before getting off the car, Liu Muxue tried her best to make a sad expression.
She knew that no matter how much she hated that man in her heart, she still had to show up.
An hour later, Liu Muxue returned to the car.
It could be seen that she seemed to have cried a lot, and her makeup was a little smudged, with a faint smoky look.
The elegant temperament exudes a sense of decadence and has a different kind of beauty.
Liu Muxue returned to the car, her face calmed down again, and then said, “Axing, take me back to the hotel.”
“good.”
Cao Xing nodded.
And just when he was about to start the car, his vision suddenly went dark.
Then, everyone heard a mechanical synthesized sound in their ears.
“The update of the new version of “Ice Age” has been completed, and the public beta period has officially started. In one minute, all humans on Blue Star will be involved in this game.”
“Instructions for the game: This is a world where the sun does not shine. The territory is vast, but it is shrouded in severe cold all day long. Your mission is to try to survive in this world.”
“After the game starts, you will appear next to a bonfire. This is your fire for survival. Remember! Don’t leave the range of the firelight easily!”
“Your goal is to collect more materials, expand your territory, and develop more units.”
“The new version is a family survival mode, with the family as a unit and a group of up to 4 people.”
“If there are no relatives, they will be randomly grouped with people around them.”
“Then, I wish you all to work hard to live in this new world…”
……
When Cao Xing regained his vision, he suddenly found that he had appeared in a field of ice and snow.
There is a vast expanse in front of us, and everything in the world is covered in ice and snow.
“Damn it, where is my Maybach?”
Before he finished speaking, a biting chill hit him.
Cao Xing only felt that he would be frozen in place in an instant.
“hiss!”
Cao Xing took a deep breath, and he quickly subconsciously approached the burning bonfire in front of him, and then he felt a hint of warmth.
At this time, a character panel appeared in front of him.
[Name: Cao Xing]
[Race: Blue Star Human Race]
[Level: Level 1 0/100]
[Occupation: None]
[HP: 100. 】
[Strength: 4, Agility: 3, Spirit: 5, Constitution 5]
[Lord Interface: Not Open]
[Current status: cold]
[Current temperature: -31℃]
“Let me go…this system panel is exactly the same as what I play on the tablet!”
Then, the second system prompt appears.
“Please all survivors choose their own career system as soon as possible.”
“It is currently divided into five major systems: Cold Iron Mechanic, Polar Warrior, Frost Mage, Aurora Knight, and Snow Hunter.”
Cao Xing’s eyes flashed with joy.
You can choose a career!
Obviously, these professions are the same as those he has played before.
Of course, Cao Xing knew that these five professions did not have much combat effectiveness in the early stage.
For example, the Cold Iron Mechanic’s early skill is to summon a small self-destructing robot, which is not even as powerful as the firecrackers we used to blow up latrines when we were children.
The polar warrior can perform a simple slashing move.
The frost mage is a little better, with an initial ice ball skill.
As for Aurora Knight and Snow Hunter, they are Purification and Hunter Perception respectively.
If you want to truly possess extraordinary power, you need to acquire more skills through continuous development.
Cao Xing thought about it: “When I played this game before, I experienced all five professions.”
“The strongest one is naturally the mechanic, but this is a late-stage profession and consumes too many materials.”
“In the early stage, the polar warriors and snow hunters are very strong, but in the later stage they are very weak.”
At this time, a look of surprise appeared on Cao Xing’s face.
“I see, this game launches the so-called family survival mode just to allow us survivors to reasonably allocate occupations, safely survive the early, middle and late stages, and then survive better.”
However, Cao Xing glanced beside him.
Apart from herself, there is only one Liu Muxue here.
Although I don’t know why I was assigned to a group with her, now is not the time to think about this.
At this time, she was looking at the bonfire with a blank expression, as if she was trying to digest the information prompted by her system.
Cao Xing understood clearly, “It seems that it is impossible to realize the four-person cooperation model.”
So…what career should I choose?
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing directly chose ‘Frost Mage’.
A system prompt appears.
“Congratulations! You have successfully selected the profession: Frost Mage, the elemental affinity has been unlocked, and the initial equipment has been placed in the storage box.”
Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to find the initial storage box, the second system prompt appeared solemnly! [It has been detected that the fate of survivor ‘Cao Xing’ matches this world, and his personal talent: Eternal Power has been activated. 】
[Eternal Power (Hidden Unique Talent)]: Makes all friendly units in the territory become permanently amplified when they obtain a temporary amplification state.
Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: “I’m super! I’m stuck!”
Newbie, new book, please collect it, please read it. (End of this chapter)
